Focus cursor to next cell on enter press in DataGridView

Sam

I want to implement enter key press event in cell of datagrid view so that if press enter then cursor focus goes to next cell, cell may be read/write or only read and after reaching last cell of current row then any user pressing enter then automatically add new row.

Can you check now. i was copied that from stackiverflow i wasn't tested code that code
private void dataGridView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
       {
           e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
           int iColumn = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
           int iRow = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
           if (iColumn == dataGridView1.ColumnCount - 1)
           {
               if (dataGridView1.RowCount > (iRow + 1))
               {
                   //make sure this condition required or not. change according to your requirement.
                   dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[1, iRow + 1];
               }
               else
               {
                   dataGridView1.Rows.Add(); //adds new row on last cell of row
                   dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[0, dataGridView1.RowCount-1]; //sets active cell to newly added row .
               }
           }
           else
               dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[iColumn + 1, iRow]; // sets active cell to columns except first column.
       }
